Win XP

[Havok 30]

I am fairly new to XP after using *cough* ME for years. I know there is an option in XP to allow others access to your computer i.e. tech people and stuff, but can I use this option to allow file-sharing thru it ? If so , how ? The file I need to transfer is too big for email and takes forever at 20kbps thru ICQ. Or alternatively what is a good ftp server prog ?

Thanks.

No, you can't do it through the Remote assistance function in XP.

However, Smart FTp is a very nice, easy to use program.

I like Smart FTP too, completely free and works better than the extremely well known ones like Coffee Cup etc if ya ask me rofl !!!

mIRC is very fast for file transfers too if you ever have some more large ones to do etc , if you ever use any of the IRC networks?? Easy enuff to use for anyone new or experienced, you can just join any chat network, create a channel just for your time there to transfer the file in question too if ya like, and over it goes. Leave the network after, and job done and channel cancels itself. You can do it without going into a chan but if you aren't used to IRC it would be a pain to explain how to do that with various server settings etc lol !! Unless ya interested in using it more anyway and would be happy to then rofl!!!

Do you or your freind have the "Web Folders" (or WebDAV) installed and in use too and know how to use that as well lol?? You may be able to send the files using that too, it's kinda similar to FTP but more secure but it mite not tho thinking about it, just thinking more idea's out loud for you really so that you have options if you require them lol !! Although the first post should you anyway if you are experienced enough to set up FTP transfers from your PC !!
